The Journey of Finding My Mother and Me

Especially those tatami rooms.

No matter how you look at it, it is not worth cleaning it specially.

"Just in case," Chitose said to Chiyoda seriously, holding a mop, "After all, the Kasuga Festival is quite a lively event. If there are companions coming to play, we must treat them well, don't we?"

Kasuga Festival is the abbreviation of Sakura Spring Festival, and the locals like to call it that.

"Eh? But we're just renting a house here, and we're not the owners here..."

"But we have been living here after all. Or, Chiyoda, do you want our companions in the port area to stay in hotels during this peak tourist season?" Chitose said seriously.

Her eyes were fixed on Chiyoda.

Although she doesn't have a high sense of presence in the port area, Chitose is actually a delicate-hearted ship girl who is good at taking care of others.

Of course, Chiyoda who is lazy on the sofa is actually the same. Even in normal times, she would rush to do these housework and let Chitose rest aside.

But today, she really didn't think it was necessary to clean the second and third floors.

"Eh? No, Miss Chitose, I...my ankles, knees and thighs are so sore~"

Chiyoda whimpered coquettishly.

"Hey, you..."

Chitose saw through Chiyoda's coquettish nature at a glance, and immediately showed a dumbfounding expression.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu who's done wiping the floor of the living room, come and rub my legs!" Chiyoda continued to moan and mutter.

She actually used this reason to prevent Chitose from cleaning up the second and third floors.

"I know, I know~"

Faced with his younger sister's acting like a baby, Chitose has always been helpless, even if he already knows what's wrong with her.

No way, my sister likes to pester me.

Especially now that the Commander is missing.

Uh, Commander...

Thinking of the figure in his memory, Chitose unconsciously slowed down as he wiped the floor. I really don't know where he is now. It would be great if he could come to this spring festival...

Ding dong ~ ding dong ~

The doorbell rang.

"commander?!"

Chitose, who was talking about this matter in his heart, subconsciously let out a soft breath.

Although her voice was very low, there were only her and Chiyoda in the room, and the sound insulation effect of the villa area was very good, so there was basically no noise, so Chiyoda heard her exclamation almost immediately.

The girl's eyes froze for a moment.

In less than a second, she, who was originally lazy on the sofa, jumped up and rushed to the security door of the villa. Her movements were so chic and neat that even Chitose, who was her elder sister, only captured an afterimage.

"Eh?"

Chitose blinked, and looked at Chiyoda in a daze, sister, now your legs are not sore or painful?

It's okay to act like a baby and play the whole set!

Otherwise, I don't know if I should comfort you later!

However, as a younger sister, Chiyoda rarely ignored her older sister's gaze, and opened the anti-theft door expectantly.

However, what appeared on the other side of the anti-theft door was not the commander's handsome face as he had expected, but two contrasting cheeks with a smile and a solemn face, one hot and the other cold.

The one who smiled happily was Jian Niang with short black hair. The squirrel tail behind her was wagging, and she could tell that she was in a very good mood.

And the one with a serious expression is also a short-haired girl with black hair, but she is wearing a peaked cap, and some parts of her hair look faintly like bird feathers.

The two ship girls are not tall, and from the outside, they both belong to destroyer girls.

"Chiyoda, long time no see!"

Squirrel Ship Girl opened her arms happily, as if she wanted to hug Chiyoda.

The ship girl wearing a hat just nodded slightly without making any gestures, but there was joy and excitement in her eyes that could not be concealed.

The ship girls who are also in the heavy cherry camp, as early as when Minato was still there, they knew Chiyoda very well, and knew that she was a ship girl with a very warm personality.

According to their thinking, Chiyoda should embrace her long-lost companion with a smile on her face.

However, to their surprise, after seeing the faces of the two of them clearly, Chiyoda's eyes not only did not show surprise, but exuded deep disappointment-this discovery instantly confused the two destroyer girls.

What's going on here?

We are not welcome?

Didn't you contact us?

The two destroyer girls looked at each other silently. The stern-faced girl in the peaked cap was alright, but the smile on the excited squirrel girl's face had completely froze.

"Well, Chiyoda..." She opened her mouth and asked in a low voice.

But before she finished speaking, Chiyoda turned around and said to Chitose, "Miss Chitose, there is no commander here..."

commander? !

Any news from the Commander? !

The Squirrel Ship Girl shut up instantly.

The cape lady's eyes became serious, and she even subconsciously straightened her body.

The two of them pricked up their ears at the same time, wanting to hear what was going on.

Chitose never expected that his unintentional intrusion would cause such a big reaction, he quickly put down the mop, walked over and said, "There is no commander in the first place... I just mentioned it casually..."

Sure enough, though.

Everyone misses Commander very much.

Noticing the change in the expressions of the two destroyer girls, Chitose sighed inwardly.

Obviously, everyone used to belong to the kind of ship girl who didn't see the commander all the year round in the port area... But sure enough, the feelings in my heart just can't let go.

Commanders don't have to care about us.

But in the end, we can only miss that stupid commander who stole our girls' hearts.

While Chitose sighed, he patted the shoulder of Chitose, who was in a momentary daze with a regretful face, and motioned her to step aside.

Then, she smiled and extended an invitation to the two destroyer girls standing at the door: "In short, no matter what you have to say, let's talk in the room first...Zhuifeng, Ruoye, welcome to the Spring Festival!"

…………

Putting the luggage in the arranged room, Ruo Ye with a squirrel tail exhaled lightly and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Along the way, it was quite hard.

But there is no way, who told this to be an invitation from Chitose and Chiyoda, and I really really want to come to this kind of festival to have fun!

It's just a pity...

Luo Ye walked out of the room Chitose arranged for herself, closed the door, and returned to the living room.

By this time, the living room was already chatting.

"Is Guinu not willing to come?" Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Chitose looked at Zhuifeng who was sitting opposite him, and sighed with some regret.

At the same time, she noticed Luo Ye who came to the living room, and quickly asked her to sit on the sofa on the other side.

Luo Ye nodded without hesitation, and sat obediently on the sofa designated by Chitose. At the same time, she subconsciously put her big squirrel tail on her lap and stroked it gently.

She takes care of the hair on this big tail all the time.

And Zhuifeng, who came with her, just gave her a slight sideways glance, and then continued: "Yeah, our work over there is also very busy... I didn't plan to come here at first, but I can't help it, who made Ruoye keep arguing to come here..."

Ruoye had heard Zhuifeng mention this kind of words countless times before departure.

She didn't speak, just stroking her squirrel tail and showing a silly smile.

"You can't say that." At this moment, Chiyoda's voice came from the direction of the kitchen.

She took the brewed tea and walked to the table in front of the sofa, put down the tea one by one, looked at Zhuifeng seriously and said: "No matter what you do, you should pay attention to the balance between work and rest... Zhuifeng, you and Guinu really care too much about the so-called work."

"I shouldn't have come out to play before the work is done." Chasing Feng retorted seriously.

Chiyoda sat on another sofa: "Then why did you come here... let alone to accompany Luo Ye, Kinu didn't make a special trip here."

"that is because……"

Faced with this question from Chiyoda, Zhuifeng was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to refute it.

Because deep in her heart, Zhuifeng actually wanted to come and play, but she was too serious to ask for leave during normal work...

"I, that!"

Chasing Feng's pretty face gradually turned red in embarrassment.

After Ruoye noticed this, she quickly changed the topic, put on a smiling face, and started gossip cheerfully: "Anyway, Zhuifeng and I are already here now, so let's not talk about it! Anyway, Chitose, and Chiyoda, I have something to ask you!"

Chitose patted Chiyoda lightly, in order to cooperate with Wakaba, and signaled Chiyoda to go over this topic, and then asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"It's about the witches at the Spring Festival," Luo Ye asked curiously, "I heard on the way here that there will be witches performing on stage at this year's Spring Festival, and they say they are going to dance or something! These two witches... "

"It has nothing to do with me or Miss Chitose."

Chiyoda immediately guessed what Luo Ye wanted to ask, waved his hand immediately, and interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

This girl who likes to act like a baby has a rare expression and tone of voice.

Chitose narrowed his eyes.

Faced with the changes of these two companions, Luo Ye tilted her head because she didn't understand.

Zhuifeng sighed heavily, well, it's time for him to help Luoye change the topic this time.

She stretched out her hand and patted Luo Ye's thigh, signaling her not to study this topic.

She is also a heavy cherry ship girl, but the active and lively Wakaba is still a little immature-after she heard that there was a shrine maiden performing on stage, she actually connected this incident with Chiyoda and Chitose!

Zhuifeng didn't know what to say for a while, she never connected this witch who was going to dance at the Spring Festival with her companions!

because……

"Miss Chitose and I will only dance for the commander and our own Minato area," Chiyoda said seriously, "As for other people and other places... no matter how much reward is given, we will not go!"

Sure enough.

Zhuifeng sighed silently in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at Chitose.

Although she didn't express her opinion, Chitose's expression was very serious, and she could tell that she had the same thoughts as Chiyoda.

Both Chiyoda and Chitose are miko in the Minato area, although they have never performed any duties as a miko in front of the ship girls since they joined the Minato area...

After all, his own commander is not from the Sakura family, and he can only be said to be [interested] in the various traditional festivals and customs of the cherry blossoms, not [participation].

Although there have been activities like eating, drinking, drinking, and having fun like festivals, but things with a certain religious color, such as witches praying for blessings and dancing, have never been formally carried out by their own commanders.

This also makes the Chitose sisters who are proficient in Kagura and dance have been in a state of doing nothing since they came to the port area. Although they also have experience in sorties and serving as secretary ships, in terms of status, there is still a big gap with other capital ship girls.

But it is absolutely impossible for them to dance for other people and other Minato areas.

Chitose and Chiyoda are serious about it.

Because the two of them used the status of free ship mothers when they rented the house, the commander of Ou City had previously sent a secretary ship to invite them to dance Kagura dance at this year's Spring Festival.

As can be imagined, the two sisters rejected the invitation without saying a word.

I am a ship girl in the port area, and my dance will only be shown to the commander, a human!

It's a pity that the only guy who is willing to dedicate all the kagura dances has gone to nowhere... It's been three years, and there is no news at all, even whether it is life or death...

No no no, it must be raw.

That was his own commander, the commander of Chitose and Chiyoda, the majestic Sakura Miko, how could he die so easily!

Say less about this kind of curse!

Chitose shook his head, and threw out all the unlucky words. At this moment, Zhuifeng, who was thinking hard and hoping to change the topic, finally remembered a question, and asked quickly: "By the way, is there someone living in the room opposite my room?"

When she packed her luggage and went out just now, she noticed that the opposite room had a breath of life.

It's an intuition.
